Fresh and Exciting

Amateur movie with Big budget

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I think this Australian film has to be one of deepest and darkest drama films I've seen.This film is brilliant, an excellent as the story, but you will absolutely find it shocking and disturbing.The beginning scene showed that someone committed suicide at 2:37 pm in school, but don't tells me who did die, so the story begins tells from the start of the day, there are 6 main teen characters (Teresa Palmer's character is one of them). All these main characters had own personal problems, and it will make you wonder who one of these will kill himself at the end.It has terrible life stories and dark secrets, but this is what high school is like for many people. It's like the movie of the show "13 Reasons Why" from the 2000s.In the fact, Teresa Palmer was discovered on the street and cast in this movie without an audition and without ever having acted before. She was obviously the reason why I watched it lol. She gave a superb performance and her character had the darkest story.

We don't see many Australian movies. It looks good when you look at it from the social point of view. Trying to get attention to high school students' problematic lives. Actually the lives are not very exaggerated. The story is not bad. It makes you think why an innocent girl commits suicide. Interviews with characters are not very exciting. As being the first movie of the director, filmography is quite good but I cannot say it's extraordinary. I cannot say you must see this movie but it's not a waste of time. Actors and actresses perform good. Starts with some curiosity and makes you wonder about who's going to suicide. You make guesses when you are watching. The end is a surprise. It makes you ask why. Some scenes can be really hard to watch for some people.

I think 2:37 certainly should be seen by parents and teachers. Because nobody knows that what happen of teenagers' life and about their worlds. And , I think so many parents do not want to understand them and parents have never thought that teenagers have problems. That idea can not be accepted. Actually, they fight with themselves as in this movie. There are six teenagers and different problems. Although all of them to be friend, in reality not. Everyone busy with yourself but one.all of them have problems and most teenagers do not look around . just they want to change something according to them. In my opinion, these people are miserable because they don't never know what is the friendship. It is really shame for them. Anyway, that one lives bad days. She loves Marcus but he doesn't care her love. Maybe it is seen that she has not got any problems in her life. but actually nobody cares somebody's life or problems or such as other things in that school. They don't communicate with each other. she consistently tries to speak Marcus. But he doesn't want to speak with her. Then ,she starts to be desperate. although she is interested in friends, nobody does not take care of hers . So, she decides to kill herself.

This film was dedicated to movie maker's friend. These events can be in every school; especially in high schools. Because, students are many problems during their adolescences. They can be very stressful, aggressive and sad. Every person encounters these problems. If there is not anyone who deals with their problems, they can be out of the control like in this film. So, their families, teachers or relatives should save them from a dangerous world. There is a popular boy like in every high school film. In this film, it was Luke. Firstly, I guessed that Sean is a murder who looks at Luke. Sean must have been jealous of Luke's girlfriend whose name is Melody. Sean would kill him. But, it was not like this. He was a gay who likes Luke. There is a boy who wets himself. He cannot control himself whose name is Steven. He is so shy because of his situation. He has no friend except of Kelly. Kelly is so helpful girl. Kelly's brother is also have problems. Kelly has a new life with her brother. His name is Marcus. He is a pervert. Because of this event, Kelly killed herself. It had an unhappy ending. This film made me pessimist. I will be an teacher. This film showed me that I have to take a big responsibility. So, I like this film even if there have a lot of disgusting things.Hatice Şahin
